1t Is a curic"7 fact that all the words
in the Chinese language are only one
syllable long. For that reason it is
difficult to tell by his talk when a
Chinaman is intoxicStJff. His tongue
doesn't get tangled up among poly
syllables rs ours-that is to say-yours
does. You can't trip him up on

There are four hundred and sixty
five words in the Chinese language and
If you want to hear them all at once
just you try to get your shirt out of
the Chinese laundry without pro-
ducing check for it.. gt
If you wish to learn to read Chinese,
please remember that the written Ian
guage contains about<eighty thousand
pictures, each picture representing a
thing or idea. A picture of n dude,
for instance, represents thing. Moth
ing on earth, however, could represent
a dudes idea. because he never had
one.
Now in order to read Chinese under
standingly, it is necessary to commit
these eighty thousand words to mem
ory. This is the work of a lifetime,
and by the time you have learned them
all your mind will be such picture

How Sleeping Car Walters Marked
the Inspectors or Spoilers.

tne lHspttNofs OF SpOtteTss
A Treasury official, who does consid-
cradle railroad travelling, says he has
made an amusing discovery which, if
properly carried out, insures unusual
care and attention from employees on
parlor and sleeping cars. The tourist
who has been initiated is provided with
the most comfortable seat in the dining
car, receives special care and attention
from the walters, and is always sure to
have a lower berth in the sleeper.
Should any Of his fellow passengers be-
come jealous at the marked courtesy
shown their comrade and inspired with
curiosity to know why the distinction
is made, they have only to look at the
heels on the shoes of the favored one
and they will observe that there is
small "nick" or notch there.
Inspectors or "spotters" of the pal
ace-car service are constantly travelling
over the railroads to see that the pass
engers received proper attention. They
do not intend to have their connection
with the company known 20 the rail-
road officials, but frequently the latter
"drop" to their little game and stamp
them so that they will be known all
along the road. The porter in gather
ing up the boots and shoes in his car
cuts "nick in the hind part Of the
shoe belonging to the inspector, SO that
the other porters will recognize him as
they look at his shoes.
The Treasury official in q mysterious
way became aware that a nick in the
heel of his shoe would greatly facili-
tate his comfort and ple5sare in tsaveii
ing. He tried the experiment and it
worked to his entire satisfaction. He
found that he was served with the best
provisions the buffet car afforded. his
shoes received the brightest shine, and
although he had been obliged to pur-
chase an upper berth the conductor on
the sleeper kindly placed lower at
his disposal. 1t is probable that a new
system for tagging the spoilers will
be adopted in the railway service, now
that their trademark becomes known.

Workers in AnlIine Dyes.

Makers Of aniline dyes are subject to
poisoning by the vapors given off by
this substance in the process Of manu-
facture. 1t is an artificial product,
made by distilling together nitro-ben-
zine, acetic acid and iron-lilings. The
base, aniline, thus obtained, is acted
upon by arsenic, bicloride of tin, potas-
SUM bichromate and other deadly
poisons, producing the brilliant dyes
now so well-known under the names of
magenta, solferino, fuchsine, etc. Many
of the symptoms complained Of by en-
ployes in aniline works are due to the
arsenic employed. Others are occa-
stoned by the vapors Of aniline itself.
The latter are violent headaches, nausea
and vomiting. Dizziness Is often pres
ent, but relieved by going into the
fresh air. Some become partially UNI
conscious, like q person half drunk
from alcohol and mutter incoherently.
They generally recover in an hour on
two, but mustsleep. Occasionally con-
vulsions, like those of epilepsy, are OBJ
served. These severe symptoms are
usually experienced but once and dis
appear after week or two; but Others
have them over again, whenever they
are overworked or in hot weather. All
the hands suffer in health If they con
tinue many months at this work.
Chronic dyspepsia and general lack
of strength are induced. Those who
suffer frequently or severely ought to
abandon the employment. The rooms
should be large and ventilated as freely
as possible, and every workman should
wear a "respirator,p in the shape of a
cloth wet in an alkaline solution, over
the mouth and nostrils.

A Hlnt TO tle Girls.

There are more chances of making a
passable husband out of fool or
crank than out of drunkard or
vicious person. The fool, if not too
egotistical, or too silly for anything at
all, can usually be led, coaxed, or
driven, but the vicious person cannot.
The woman who undertakes to reform
q man in order to get husband has
undertaken task that is not success
fully accomplished one time in a thou
sand. In the first place a man who
needs to be reformed before he is fit
for a companion is lacking in some
OF the elements which are necessary
in the makeup Of even an average
